Wednesday's global agenda: House talks trade with Russia

The House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration policy holds a hearing on the Chinese Media Reciprocity Act of 2011, which would allow the State Department to issue only as many visas to Chinese state media workers as China issues to American journalists working for the American government’s Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees Voice of America and Radio Free Asia.

The House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Middle East holds a hearing on the revolution in Egypt, while the subcommittee on Africa holds a hearing on the the African Growth and Opportunity Act, which was signed into law in 2000.
